Gorakhpur: Mahayogi Guru Gorakhnath AYUSH University, Gorakhpur in Uttar Pradesh, has been directed to supply Ayurvedic medicines to state-run Ayurvedic hospitals.
The university administration has stepped up preparations to ensure that medicines produced on campus are delivered efficiently to government hospitals across the state.
The pharmacy produces a wide range of essential Ayurvedic medicines, including Madhumehari, which is specifically used for diabetes management, Ashwagandha, Arjun bark, Triphala, Haritaki, and Vibhitaki powders, reports Dainik Bhaskar. These medicines are widely recognised for their natural healing properties and are used in treating various health conditions, such as metabolic disorders, heart problems, digestive issues, and general wellness maintenance.
Production of Madhumehari has seen a substantial increase, rising from 60 kilograms to nearly 12 quintals to meet the growing demand in government hospitals. The university has prioritized Madhumehari for initial supply, ensuring that patients suffering from diabetes in public Ayurvedic hospitals receive timely access to this important medicine.
Following this first phase, other herbal powders and Ayurvedic formulations produced at the pharmacy will be systematically supplied to hospitals across the state, expanding the availability of essential traditional medicines for a wide range of treatments.

Speaking to The Daily, Vice-Chancellor Dr. K. Ramchandra Reddy stated that the production process uses modern automated machinery and that strict quality checks are in place to maintain high standards. He added that the initiative will ensure the regular availability of Ayurvedic medicines at government hospitals, providing patients with safe and natural treatment options.
The expansion of the pharmacy also supports the cultivation of medicinal plants in the region and creates employment opportunities for trained AYUSH practitioners. By supplying essential medicines directly to hospitals, the initiative is expected to improve healthcare delivery in rural and remote areas where access to medical facilities is limited.
